Siofor (metformin) is often used to treat insulin resistance and to support weight loss, and the symptoms you describe are typical of the initial stage of therapy. The gradual disappearance of ailments on the part of the digestive system proves the proper adaptation of your body to the active substance, which is a desirable process and allows you to achieve the full dose recommended by the specialist.
The noticed weight loss is the result of the drug's effect on carbohydrate metabolism and improved tissue sensitivity to insulin, which promotes the reduction of body fat. However, please remember not to modify the dosage set by the diabetologist yourself (you mentioned taking the drug three times a day if I understand correctly). Full therapeutic efficacy and a lasting weight reduction effect require strict adherence to the dosage regimen and the continuation of a balanced diet with a low glycemic index.
